I blocked hexbear and lemmygrad to stop the firehose of kremlin/beijing propaganda cluttering up my feed and that made my lemmy experience worlds better. There's only so many times you can read "special military operation" used unironically..

Get fucked, Russia.

The resolution is actually quadrupled by doubling the value of both axes. In this case going from 1500x1424 (2.1MP) to 3504x3327 (11.7MP) multiplies the total number of pixels by 5.4

With the same level of jpeg compression you'd expect it to jump from 700KB to roughly 4MB. Since both images are the same file format, the rest of the file size difference is likely attributable to less jpeg compression being used in the larger image.

What a cunt

The only legitimate commands for a non-root shell are sudo -i, exit, and echo "yee haw"

Anyone that uses "woke" as a pejorative really just wants to say the n-word instead, but don't think they can get away with it yet.

This is just an attack that attempts common username/password combinations on ssh, and the article even states that the worm is dime-a-dozen. Unless you have both password auth enabled and an available account with an easily guessable password (and if you have either you should change that), this is nothing to worry about, even with sshd available to the internet.

Sensationalist title.

ssh predates the specification, exists somewhat independently of even the idea of a desktop (not common to see xdg env variables like XDG_CONFIG in a headless environment, for example), and uses the homedir/.ssh directory on both the client and server side of a connection. I think it's less to do with security and more to do with uniformity for something as important as ssh - ssh doesn't need to change to use the xdg spec, and xdg doesn't need to allot anything special for ssh when it's already uniform across the unix spectrum

If you aren't going to fully wipe your drive in horrible events like this, at the very least use shred instead of rm. rm simply removes references to the file in the filesystem, leaving the data behind on the disk until other data happens to be written there.

Do not ever allow data like that to exist on your machines. The law doesn't care how it got there.

Thank fucking god for the EU, for fighting for global digital rights where nobody else does.

One benefit of base 12 and base 60 over base 10 for everyday use with things like time is simple factorization. You can divide 12 hours evenly into halves, thirds, quarters, and sixths, and 60 minutes evenly into halves, thirds, quarters, fifths, sixths, tenths, etc. With base 10, you've just got halves and fifths.
